The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Carney's Scandals Catch Up With Him - Liberals try Distracting Canadians!

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here, and welcome back to the National Telegraph YouTube channel.

00:00:06.380 Have you ever seen a more obvious political operation than what is happening right now

00:00:12.080 with 24 Sussex? Prime Minister Mark Carney and the federal liberals are in big trouble

00:00:18.740 on multiple fronts. Food inflation sucks, the economy sucks, the developer bailout sucks, 0.99

00:00:25.200 and the alto high-speed rail project sucks and so what do the liberals want to talk about right now 1.00

00:00:31.360 well repairs to the prime minister's residence that's a stupid issue that they can deflect on 0.98

00:00:37.700 and of course the media is going along with it i want to start this video off with a segment from 0.91

00:00:44.960 the cbc to just show how obvious this whole thing is they are trying to manufacture a fight between

00:00:51.220 the conservatives and the liberals on something they're not actually fighting about because we

00:00:56.820 don't want to talk about the real issues the country is going through right now or the very

00:01:01.720 scandalous things that the liberals have been recently doing with the alto high-speed rail

00:01:06.060 project the nova scotia space launch pad and the vancouver developer bailout check out this segment

00:01:13.280 from the cvc with our favorite host david cochran prime minister mark carney lays out his reasoning

00:01:20.000 for renovating 24 Sussex Drive.

00:01:22.460 It is, of course, the Prime Minister's official residence,

00:01:24.740 but no Canadian leader has lived there since 2015.

00:01:28.860 Well, 24 Sussex is a symbol of the office it serves.

00:01:33.100 It must also be a home.

00:01:34.960 And the women and men who will lead our country in the future

00:01:37.860 will need a residence for their families.

00:01:41.320 I may not look like it, but my kids are already grown.

00:01:44.200 And I will never, in any event, live in 24 Sussex Drive.

00:01:50.000 In the end, I and all public officials are stewards of the offices we hold.

00:01:55.280 We don't own them.

00:01:57.120 We serve them to serve Canadians.

00:01:59.820 And we have a responsibility to leave things better than we found them.

00:02:04.020 Conservative leader Pierre Pallievos asked about this renovation idea yesterday

00:02:07.780 and what he thinks should happen to this heritage building.

00:02:11.480 You know, I just think when I go around this country

00:02:13.900 and I meet so many people who can't afford a place to live,

00:02:17.440 when I see the homelessness on our streets

00:02:19.440 and I see the young people who are desperate to start families but can't get a house to do it,

00:02:24.740 I just think the last thing on our minds should be 24 Sussex Drive.

00:02:29.340 By the way, that is not what Pierre Pauly have said.

00:02:32.900 They cut him out of context to make it sound like he went after Prime Minister Carney

00:02:37.640 for proposing to renovate 24 Sussex.

00:02:41.000 He doesn't care.

00:02:42.600 That's literally what he actually said at the beginning of the answer

00:02:46.080 that the CBC cut out of context. Because when you actually hear the question and then hear what

00:02:52.420 Pierre Pauly have said, it's very clear. He just said, I don't care about talking about 24 Sussex

00:02:57.180 right now. Let's talk about the real issues, not about what's going to happen with the prime

00:03:01.060 minister's residence. I myself think we, I don't care if Carney invests $70 million building

00:03:07.920 himself a cotton candy castle that he will live out of within the next year. I don't care if he

00:03:13.820 lives in it. I don't care how much he spends on it as long as we're not spending like a billion

00:03:17.660 dollars. Do whatever you want, man. And we go back to talking about the economy, talking about the

00:03:23.260 major projects, trying to get a pipeline built, reducing immigration further, trying to cut down

00:03:28.840 on taxes. How do we talk about that? But instead, we are talking about 24 Sussex because the prime

00:03:34.920 minister had a very staged press conference about it. And you could say all press conferences are

00:03:39.860 stage. I mean, this is something that should have been a press release. It should have just been

00:03:44.180 words on paper saying what he's planning on doing. And apparently we're going to do

00:03:48.500 some crowdfunding of 24 Sussex. And we're going to also solicit the public for ideas on ways

00:03:54.940 that it could be improved or rebuilt or renovated or whatever. It's obviously just a stupid media 1.00

00:04:01.540 distraction as if we're actually going to take some random person from the public's idea of what 0.98

00:04:07.360 24 Sussex should look like. And by the way, it actually is a good point that people made later.

00:04:11.840 Like, isn't that kind of like a major vector of corruption to have people donating to the

00:04:16.380 prime minister's residence, even if Carney's saying he's never going to live in it? But whatever.

00:04:21.060 I want to now get to the original clip of what Pierre Polyev actually said. But of course,

00:04:27.180 we will be having to go back to the media a few times here because they keep trying to manufacture

00:04:35.160 a fight between Carney and Polyev that is not happening on this issue is what do you think

00:04:41.100 should happen to 24 Sussex I really don't think about it at all that is basically the real answer

00:04:48.260 he goes on to only say we shouldn't be really talking about this right now because we have

00:04:52.860 more serious issues he's not saying don't fix up 24 Sussex he's saying that why are we putting so

00:04:58.140 much thought and energy in the public eye into what we're going to do with it just give this to

00:05:03.720 some random person in the prime minister's office to deal with figure it out man who cares here's a

00:05:09.080 here's a 70 million dollar budget figure out the renovations maybe rebuild the whole thing who

00:05:13.480 knows maybe build it up burn it down then build it up again let's talk about what normal people

00:05:18.120 are going through but i'm going to go back a bit and let the whole answer play out in its full

00:05:23.160 context now into 24 sussex i really don't think about it at all you know i just think when i go

00:05:30.760 around this country and i meet so many people who can't afford a place to live when i see the

00:05:35.800 homelessness on our streets and i see the young people who are desperate to start families but 0.96

00:05:39.960 can't get a house to do it i just think the last thing on our mind should be 24 sussex drive 0.98

00:05:49.160 see it has nothing to do with whether we should invest in fixing up or not if you actually sat

00:05:54.600 down and probably gave an in-depth answer on this you'd probably say yeah it's probably worth

00:05:58.680 fixing it up it is in disrepair apparently there's issues with rats and and moldy and

00:06:04.440 bold and whatnot and asbestos was in it or whatever sure it should be fixed up but the

00:06:10.200 fact the media is bringing it up at his press conference shows they just don't want to talk

00:06:15.240 about the actual rampant corruption and conflicts of interest and waste of money and crappy economy

00:06:21.320 that's in a recession right now that mark carney is overseeing they would rather talk about is is

00:06:27.480 pure poly of patriotic enough to support the repairs to 24 sussex i guess you got him guys i

00:06:36.780 guess he can't be prime minister anymore because he he didn't give like an emphatic oh i hope mark

00:06:41.900 carney makes the most beautiful building in the country type answer when asked here's sharon core

00:06:47.700 a uh liberal commentator who often appears on ctv news and cbc i think she's exclusively on one or

00:06:54.720 the other. I really don't care. But she says here, tagging him because it's so important.

00:07:00.100 Here, Polyevs lives in Stornoway, an official residence paid for by taxpayers, while attacking

00:07:05.660 the idea of 24 Sussex. If he truly believes these residences are inappropriate, there's an easy

00:07:11.440 solution. Move out. Until then, this is just performative hypocrisy. Performative. He didn't

00:07:17.360 want to answer the question because he doesn't care. He literally just says, I don't think about

00:07:21.440 it i don't think he didn't say burn the house down oh there should be burned down and cardi 0.96

00:07:27.600 should be inside of it while it's being like hit with a napalm bomb like that never happened he is 0.59

00:07:33.120 literally car polyev is doing the right thing but the media is trying to force into a fight anyway

00:07:38.180 so he has not made a mistake here but polyev when they start when the media starts trying to go to 0.97

00:07:42.160 a stupid topic it's like going limp it's like not letting them go on to the stupid topic and every 0.99

00:07:47.080 time they like try and push him he just kind of goes limp just kind of slouches over and does not 1.00

00:07:52.420 allow them to get him into this stupid topic this thing will burn itself out but this is such an 0.98

00:07:58.020 instructive example of what the liberals and what the liberal media does every time things get 0.99

00:08:03.620 serious oh let's let's uh talk about uh let's talk about uh 24 sussex let's talk about uh

00:08:08.960 let's talk about pride let's talk about uh fifa let's talk about fifa uh yeah yeah we have a 90

00:08:14.000 billion train nobody wants that has massive conflicts of interest with our finance minister

00:08:18.720 as well as probably other connected liberal contractors who donate a lot oh yes there is

00:08:24.580 the developer bailout but uh what do you think about 24 sussex do you think you should have a

00:08:30.160 pool in the back how big should the bathtub be in the guest house how big it's like stop it guys

00:08:35.980 i don't care uh here's another one this james christian parsons says and there we have it folks 0.97

00:08:43.580 the pathetic whole whole pusillanimous like oh my goodness you take the dictionary out of your hand 1.00

00:08:50.580 right now sir this pathetic pusillanimous attitude that has reduced 24 sex uh sussex to a vermin 1.00

00:08:58.240 infested ruin over several decades shameful oh yes here polyev has been the one blocking 24 sussex 0.99

00:09:06.180 from being fixed. His pusillanimous attitude is what is causing this mess right now. 0.68

00:09:14.980 If you actually think about it, Polyev not caring enough about 24 Sussex, that's actually what

00:09:24.240 spawned rats. Rats are only walking this earth because pure Polyev does not care about 24 Sussex

00:09:30.980 enough it's so dumb it's so dumb and i know back when trudeau first got brought in there was this 0.99

00:09:39.400 like very small media controversy he's like oh it's 24 sussex not good enough for him because 0.99

00:09:44.180 he didn't want to move into it because there's repair issues that was stupid it also lasted five 0.79

00:09:48.720 seconds but the media is trying to pretend that's currently going on right now with pure polyev

00:09:52.840 when i'm pretty sure people from both parties since 2015 have all vocalized yeah they should

00:09:57.720 probably repair it and now carney's only doing it this moment because he wants to like i guess like

00:10:04.100 he wants i guess he wants to get the attention off him and again i have to go back to this guy

00:10:08.940 using the word pusillanimous like he's a character from lost in space here scott reed says chronically

00:10:16.820 unable to reach past the pinched partisan take if peer poly of feels renovating of 24 sussex

00:10:22.820 is such an insult. 0.99

00:10:24.260 Let him haul his butt out of Stornoway tomorrow. 0.98

00:10:27.560 Carney has pulled a page from Pearson

00:10:29.740 in the flag design competition in the 1960s.

00:10:32.520 In time, it will be celebrated.

00:10:34.880 Actually, nobody liked the flag design thing

00:10:37.260 that Pearson did because they didn't even pick the flag

00:10:40.000 that was actually the most popular flag among them.

00:10:43.340 The red maple leaf, I'm fine with it,

00:10:45.440 but there was that tricolor white, red, and blue flag

00:10:52.680 with the two blue bars on the sides and the triple maple leaf in the middle.

00:10:57.980 That was the one who actually won all the popularity polls, and then they just ditched it.

00:11:01.920 Again, I really doubt Bernie's actually going to let members of the public have

00:11:06.280 a heavy impact on the renovations that are going to take place.

00:11:10.660 Even people who consider themselves conservatives here, like Blaine Baddock,

00:11:15.200 got easily taken in by this fake controversy.

00:11:18.640 Blaine says, a conservative vision for our future that does not build on our legacy,

00:11:23.200 respect our traditions, and honor what's beautiful and right is not a conservative vision.

00:11:27.320 24-6 is an international embarrassment.

00:11:31.120 We owe it to future Canadians to restore this historical site.

00:11:35.480 By the way, I think we should probably fix it up too, rebuild it, do whatever you want with it. 0.79

00:11:39.460 The idea it's an international embarrassment is kind of silly.

00:11:43.760 I don't think anyone outside of Canada even really knows about it.

00:11:47.840 And frankly, probably less than 10% of Canadians are really aware of what's going on with 24 Sussex day to day.

00:11:55.040 But this whole thing is just it's just lame.

00:11:58.820 It's so lame that we're talking about this and we all know why we're talking about it.

00:12:03.300 But we're going to continue talking about it as if we all don't know it's a distraction.

00:12:07.980 It's the whole like they know they're lying.

00:12:11.080 We know or yeah, they know they're lying.

00:12:13.360 We know they're lying.

00:12:14.340 They know we know they're lying.

00:12:15.840 except in this case they're trying to distract us we know they're trying to distract us they know

00:12:20.060 that we know that they're trying to distract us and yet they are still trying to distract us with

00:12:23.800 this lame thing news you're going to be crowdfunding to restore one of the most famous

00:12:28.320 addresses in the country what conversations did you have about what could go wrong i'm thinking

00:12:33.440 possible foreign influence perceptions that wealthy donors could be occurring favors to the government

00:12:38.520 and how specifically do you plan to address that will you make the list of donors public will you

00:12:43.020 put limits yeah great thank you for the question um uh first uh let me go through a few uh the list

00:12:49.880 of donors will be public uh there will be a limit uh the limit will be well the real hall foundation

00:12:56.760 will make the final we'll make this public but uh the thinking is the limit would be 10 percent of

00:13:01.100 the overall amount raised or a specific cap uh individuals and philanthropic organizations no

00:13:07.960 corporate donations. As I said earlier, in French, the way the process is designed is

00:13:15.600 we have the Rideau Hall Foundation overseeing the fundraising, no influence at all on the decisions,

00:13:25.760 decisions made by the experts in terms of what is the right design that balances all those various

00:13:31.940 uh factors um and uh and obviously ultimately and and a transparency did i mention publication of

00:13:38.400 all the donors etc he didn't mention that already before it still is a massive vector of corruption

00:13:45.700 just because the names are public doesn't mean that it's still not kind of shady that someone

00:13:51.380 could potentially give you what is 10 of the value of the construction which in theory could be like

00:13:57.500 a million dollars or more considering how much oftentimes it would cost to build something like

00:14:03.480 this with all the extra security features that are needed and you know just the fact that you're

00:14:09.260 going to try and like build it in the most grand style possible which absolutely they should do

00:14:15.580 it's the prime minister's residence fair enough but like this is going to be a problem we already

00:14:20.760 have problems with developers in vancouver holding fundraising events with the prime minister for his

00:14:26.380 party and you can say, well, they can only donate up to $1,750. Yeah, but those developers and their

00:14:32.720 family members and their contractors can all show up and all give you a massive donation. You can

00:14:38.320 raise hundreds of thousands of dollars in a single night just because the dollar value is low doesn't

00:14:42.820 mean that the value of those dollars when it comes to political campaigning are not very, very high.

00:14:47.960 That's the funny thing is that money in politics or taking money out of politics or reducing the

00:14:53.260 amount really doesn't do anything because everything's relative. $1,000 is worth like

00:14:59.740 in Canadian political donations what like $5,000 or $10,000 would be in the United States. Just

00:15:06.480 because you remove the cap, it just means that the dollar values are just kind of relative to

00:15:12.160 how much everyone else is currently spending. But yeah, that probably is one real problem with this

00:15:18.280 potential project. But now I need to move on to another CBC segment where they were also talking

00:15:25.340 about it. I believe this is Rob Breckenridge on CBC as a guest, talking about how somehow

00:15:31.800 Polyev is lacking in patriotism or too partisan or blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Really, we want 1.00

00:15:38.040 to just jaw jack and wave our gums about something that is something that Carney is currently messing

00:15:43.280 up which means like this is the only thing we can talk about because this is like the only thing

00:15:48.000 that is currently not going badly minus half of the immigration issue i would that's the one thing

00:15:54.340 i give the liberals credit for half of the immigration issue has been solved there's still

00:15:58.580 another half where prs are still too high certain other elements of immigration are too high we're

00:16:03.700 not deporting people over staying visas uh i that's just my one thing to demonstrate i'm not

00:16:08.980 like a partisan hack. I actually can give the liberals credit on certain things, but for the

00:16:13.660 most part, really not that much good to talk about. And plus, the liberal base is really not

00:16:18.160 the type of people who actually celebrate reducing immigration. So right now, in a lot of ways,

00:16:23.160 the liberals have no achievements. Not surprisingly, of course, the leader of the opposition has come

00:16:28.680 out being critical of this decision, saying that this is the last thing on Canadians' minds. There's

00:16:33.840 been concerns around affordability. What do you make of that argument? Well, it's interesting

00:16:39.520 the contrast between what Pierre Paliyev said and actually what Stephen Harper said, a statement

00:16:44.220 from Stephen Harper applauding the Prime Minister for finally taking action on this. So, you know,

00:16:50.320 for Pierre Paliyev and I guess also Andrew Scheer previously, who both lived at Stornoway, it's

00:16:55.220 kind of curious to see them, you know, hammering the Prime Minister over wanting... Hammering him

00:16:59.960 how? Hammering them how? Actually, Rob hosts a political show every day. Can Rob and these

00:17:07.520 other two bald men, I'm not sure if they all said the same stupid thing. I'm going to guess they 1.00

00:17:11.940 did. It is the CBC. Can they cite me a quote where Pauliev or Scheer or anyone else hammered

00:17:19.480 the prime minister over this? I know they're all subsidized media hacks and they're basically paid

00:17:25.220 to lie here, but can we at least lie a bit better? Can we at least misquote him a bit? There's not

00:17:31.960 even the attempt to manufacture a quote from Pierre Polyev. They're just simply telling the

00:17:36.200 audience, wow, if you really think about it, Pierre Polyev hates the country because he doesn't want

00:17:42.580 to talk about 24 Sussex instead of all the things that are wrong that he's supposed to be opposing

00:17:47.080 as opposition leader. What a concept. Opposition leader doesn't want to talk about stupid fluff

00:17:52.340 issues. He wants to talk about things he has a problem with. To fix this prime minister's 1.00

00:17:57.020 residence. And, you know, for the conservatives who have sort of taken up this mantle of this

00:18:01.140 cause of preserving Canadian history and why are we toppling or taking down these statues and

00:18:05.980 all of this history matters. I mean, this seemed like a real opportunity for them

00:18:09.940 to sort of lead the charge on that. How do you lead the charge on 24 Sussex as the opposition?

00:18:16.080 he's gonna do the job good and he's like saying well you know if they if they're the ones arguing

00:18:23.020 against taking down uh statues of of ryerson and johnny mcdonald and not renaming things well

00:18:30.120 shouldn't they be plotting the prime minister if you're convinced by this you're just hand back in

00:18:36.660 your high school diploma and we're going to ritualistically burn it in front of you because

00:18:40.980 you have failed at just basic logic and thought to actually think that this is something that

00:18:46.820 the conservatives are hammering on do you it would be it would be political malpractice

00:18:52.020 for the conservatives to oppose this they're not opposing it because not only are they not 0.98

00:18:55.940 politically stupid but they also just don't care that's the thing we are manufacturing a non-quote 0.95

00:19:04.500 from poly of other media people are rob breckenridge isn't even like he's too lazy to even 1.00

00:19:09.620 and try and take Polly out of context.

00:19:11.800 She's just simply asserting that he's opposed it.

00:19:14.240 But even the other media,

00:19:16.080 we're basically freaking out over Polly

00:19:17.920 saying, I just don't want to talk about this right now. 0.98

00:19:21.320 Apparently, this means we must now burn him like a witch. 0.98

00:19:24.620 It's part of it, too. 0.98

00:19:25.780 And this does matter, and it should matter.

00:19:28.180 And it's unfortunate that it got to this point

00:19:30.840 where it's just such a mess.

00:19:32.660 And unfortunately, it is going to cost a lot to fix this.

00:19:36.060 And by the way,

00:19:36.900 is this a big topic on Rob Breckenridge's show that nobody listens to? Is this a big thing that

00:19:44.120 he does? I guarantee you he does not bring up 24 Sussex ever. Probably the last time he brought it

00:19:51.340 up was when it was briefly a controversy back in like 2016, 2015, 2016. Since then, I guarantee

00:19:57.860 he has only brought it up maybe one time in passing, but he's pretending like, oh my goodness,

00:20:02.380 Why are the conservatives not joining together in honoring 24 Sussex?

00:20:08.060 Oh, he lives in Stornoway.

00:20:10.020 I can't believe him.

00:20:11.840 Polyev's not standing in anyone's way here.

00:20:14.920 He hasn't even made it to smallest critique.

00:20:18.280 He's only critiquing the media, bringing up a topic that distracts from real issues.

00:20:24.240 You know, Polyev is right.

00:20:26.060 You know, people are struggling to buy food, to pay for their rent, their mortgage, to put their kids through school.

00:20:33.440 They can't even put their kids in hockey anymore because it's too expensive.

00:20:36.980 And we're going to waste time talking about 24 Sussex.

00:20:43.000 The prime minister can release a press release about it.

00:20:46.500 Just say, I'm going to be putting together this amount of money and I'm going to fix that.

00:20:51.040 I think everyone will be like, OK, sure, good, whatever.

00:20:52.920 $50 million, $100 million. I don't care how much it costs. Whatever. Do it. Because it's going to

00:20:57.800 have a helipad, too. We're going to make it out of candy. Fair enough. Now, can we get back to

00:21:04.640 real issues? But this is a great example of the liberal media being effectively just a branch of

00:21:13.440 the liberal party, which is why I call them the liberal media. The media should be... If this

00:21:19.420 takes a segment. It should have been a news report segment where it's not having panels of people on

00:21:26.480 to talk about it. Maybe have one person come on, an architecture expert, come on and talk about

00:21:31.740 what he thinks should happen with it. How long has it been in disrepair? This requires maybe a

00:21:36.940 five-minute segment where they just talk about some of the issues around it, what the prime

00:21:40.240 minister is doing, and then moving on. We've turned it into multiple panel shows on just one

00:21:45.680 of the outlets already. The other outlets have probably done it too, trying to make this a

00:21:50.580 controversy because this being a dumb controversy gets people distracted away from the real 0.96

00:21:57.880 controversies. But what do I know? I'm not a professional journalist. Anyways, with all that 0.95

00:22:05.840 being said, thank you guys for watching. Make sure to leave a like on this video if you like what I

00:22:10.800 do. Subscribe if you are not yet a subscriber. Leave a comment with what you think about this

00:22:16.540 stupid issue and what the media is doing. And of course, if you want to support the channel even 0.99

00:22:21.120 more, you can hit the join button below the video and become a monthly contributing member. I keep

00:22:26.120 the tears pretty low because I have seen other YouTubers. There's this other guy I know, Greg

00:22:31.860 Wycliffe, who I do not have a great opinion of from the Dominion Society. He has his own YouTube

00:22:37.580 channel where he barely uploads on it. And I think one of his membership tiers is that you

00:22:42.780 can have the privilege of giving him $150 a month to make like no videos. The guy put it out like

00:22:50.040 nothing. And I get, I see these YouTubers who have like membership tiers where it's like,

00:22:54.300 you can give me $55 and I might make a video this week. And it's like, what, what? That's pathetic.

00:23:00.980 But, but so that's why I've always kept tiers low. I'm not Netflix. I am not worth 30 bucks a 0.95

00:23:06.920 month or something like that and so my highest tier is like nine dollars or whatever I usually

00:23:11.040 keep it around like three or five or whatever it just makes the channel more sustainable because

00:23:15.260 sometimes YouTube is just messing with me and I am just not getting the reach that I feel like I

00:23:20.100 should be getting not that I'm like such an important individual I should be getting more

00:23:24.300 but in terms of like other people's channels they'll release a video and within the first

00:23:28.380 hour they've gotten like 15,000 views and it's literally on the same topic that I did I was out

00:23:34.400 a few hours first, I frankly, I'm not trying to be rude, but I frankly did the more detailed job

00:23:42.540 on the issue. I talked more about the actual reasons why it matters and not just the surface

00:23:48.000 level headlines. And their video is doing like 50 times better for no reason. And I think it's

00:23:53.060 because YouTube hates my guts these days. Not like actually, not that they're like actually

00:23:57.200 going in the algorithm back end to mess with me. Just the current algorithm has a weird favoritism

00:24:03.000 element where it will trust a channel for arbitrary reasons and give them a lot of reach

00:24:07.780 and then i've like struggled past 10 000 views when back like six months ago or whatever amount

00:24:15.200 of time it was like really easy sometimes i'll even have a great month where it just seems very

00:24:19.240 easy to get views and then the next it's like we'll just shove wyatt into like the infomercial

00:24:26.280 slot of youtube that nobody's watching but now i've complained enough and that is probably the

00:24:32.420 signal to sign off so thank you guys for watching see you guys later
